torobravo Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 I thought I´d be the first sharing this with you 1
OSX Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 Nice one! Have you had a chance to test how robust is the ceramic case? I thought the project was shelved because the ceramic case a extremely fragile?
Legend Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 I thought I´d be the first sharing this with you Toro Fantastic news! Just checking, what is the crystal and cyclops AR like? Also is the inner bezel based on the v5.1? Thank you.
Legend Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 Also, I noticed that the crown seems to be smaller for this model.. the gaps between the crown and crown guards seem to be large for this. Is there some reason for this? Thanks.
PATerai Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 Also, I noticed that the crown seems to be smaller for this model.. the gaps between the crown and crown guards seem to be large for this. Is there some reason for this? Thanks. Its because of the position of the crown. If its turned slihtly more it will appear bigger because of the hexagonal design. Its coinsidence...
Legend Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Its because of the position of the crown. If its turned slihtly more it will appear bigger because of the hexagonal design. Its coinsidence... Yes I do see what you mean but I pictured the crown turning till the edges would look the widest from top view, and still I see that the gaps would not be filled nicely. I have emailed one of the TDs to get a confirmation and I hope you are right about this.. been waiting to buy this for quite a while now.
Legend Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 I have received a confirmation from a TD that the factory has confirmed that the crown for the ceramic model is indeed a bit smaller than the FC and SS one, and would be corrected accordingly. I would advise you guys to hold your orders first.
Scouser2020 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Think I'm in for one of these but question is which is better noob of jfactory? Pure time has them both at same price jf with free xs strap. What do you guys reckon? I'm thinking noob
Capt_MJ Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 Final jf is not ready yet, but noob looks better,inner bezel and orange color
Legend Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 Final jf is not ready yet, but noob looks better,inner bezel and orange color I agree. Besides the ridiculously small crown, the rest of the Noob ceramic diver looks very good to me.
markiemark Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 both have the wrong orange. It should be darker/deeper, almost red. Noob is closer though, but JF is just a prototype and will be released somewhere next week...
andyaudi42 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 Looks like they took the same crown they use for bezel adjustment as time setting/winding crown
Legend Posted September 19, 2014 Report Posted September 19, 2014 Looks like they took the same crown they use for bezel adjustment as time setting/winding crown looks like you are right!
sacsah1 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 officially ordered Post qc pictures
sam1977 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 Never posted the qc. But here it is in the flesh.
Legend Posted October 11, 2014 Report Posted October 11, 2014 Never posted the qc. But here it is in the flesh. I like the tone of the orange, but the crown just looks horrible, sorry. Like what someone said, it looks like the same crown is used for both the inner bezel mechanism and the winding/ time-setting crown. Check out the crown of the gen diver pictured below. Yes, our reps will never be 100% perfect, but for such an established product line, I really do expect them to do a more accurate job.

jcrystal23 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 Received mine today. Amazing watch. Sent from a traveling phone booth
tx959porsche Posted April 15, 2015 Report Posted April 15, 2015 Speaking of the A3120 clone, I've been wondering when it will show up on the black dial SS diver reps, as AP has introduced the open caseback version of the SS black dial at SIHH this year. I also heard the dial finish/tapisserie has changed a bit (?). not sure if anyone familiar with the new AP gen releases can confirm...
indywatchguy Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 Which version is better?The A3120? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
